What Pasadena’s First CicLAvia Looked Like

CicLAvia, the local car-free street festival now in its fifth year, threw its first event outside the city of Los Angeles on Sunday. CicLAvia Pasadena, or “CicLAdena” as it quickly became known on social media, saw a huge turnout of bicyclists, walkers, and skaters. Before plans for the next iteration, taking place in Venice on August 9, kick into gear, take a moment to take in this weekend’s event:

Bicyclists walk and ride bikes through an open intersection

A street sign warns drivers about road closures for CicLAvia

An aeriel shot of the event

Tricycles also made an appearance at the family-friendly event

Bikers traverse open streets

Crowds line Raymond Avenue where the street blockages start

Bicyclists pose with their bikes next to the oldest mile marker in Pasadena

The streets functioned the same way for bikers as they would normally for cars, with two-way traffic
